AI automation services for small businesses
AI automation for a small business starts with one question: where does your team spend hours every week on the same work? I find those spots, build an AI agent or a workflow for them and connect it to your inbox, CRM and messengers. There is no agency in between: from the first call to the launch you talk to the developer who writes the code.

Where AI pays off fastest
Documents
Reading PDFs, estimates and forms, pulling out the fields you need and matching items to your catalog.
Leads
Requests from your website and lead platforms collected in one pipeline, with follow-ups that go out on schedule.
Proposals and quotes
Drafts in your template with prices taken from your data and calculated by code.
Reports
A daily summary for the owner without exports from the CRM and spreadsheets.
Content at scale
Product descriptions and SEO copy generated from your data. The Conteria store has AI-written copy for 155,000 pages.
How the work goes
It starts with a free 30-minute call: you describe how the work is done today, and I point out what can be automated and what is not worth it. You get an estimate of time and cost the same day.
Then one task, not the whole company. The first working version takes 1–2 weeks, and the team uses it on real requests. Money, stock and rates are always calculated by code, and the model only handles language.
When the first task pays off, the next one is added as a new stage. That is how the sales assistant grew from replies in one channel into a system with five lead platforms, proposals and daily reports.

FAQ
How much does AI automation cost for a small business?
From $1,000 for the first task, with a working version in 1–2 weeks. Larger systems are built in stages, and each stage is quoted separately.
Do I need to change my tools?
Usually not. The automation connects to the CRM, email and messengers you already use through their APIs.
Which AI models do you use?
OpenAI and DeepSeek models, chosen for each task. The logic runs in Python and FastAPI, and workflows run in n8n where that is easier to maintain.
What if the AI makes a mistake?
Numbers never come from the model, and a person checks drafts at the start. If the answer is not in your data, the agent hands the question to a person instead of guessing.
Who owns the automation?
You do. The code and access are handed over after launch, and two weeks of support are included.
